Enriques Taqueria

I never write reviews, but I'm making an exception for Enrique's. The burritos and the quesadillas were totally amazing. We were not sure about the place when we first entered, but we stuck around because the reviews were excellent. We were not disappointed. If we had stayed in the area longer, we would have eaten at Enrique's again the next day!

Enrique’s was a great experience! I would give this a 4.5–But that’s not an option on google. The positives: Great location and the restaurant itself was very clean and well maintained. The carne asada burrito was delightful. We got medium sauce and it was perfectly balanced. There was a nice kick that wasn’t overwhelming. The meat was tender and felt very fresh. We also got supreme nachos which were delightful! The mango pico was so fresh and flavorful! For 22$ we felt like the pricing was fair for the quality as well. The cons: the water isn’t good.... it has a weird stale aftertaste to it. Not sure if it was just this trip or if it’s always like this, but it was definitely off. Also, the regular “nachos” were literally just cold queso over chips. Wasn’t impressive at all. All in all, with fresh ingredients and good service, and fair pricing, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for good Mexican food in the Newport area.

I’m giving this place five stars mostly because of the great food. Some unique flavors, outstanding and traditional. It’s not big on ambience and the menu didn’t appear to have much. BUT all I had to do was ask and they made it. Everything was fresh and homemade and had amazing flavor. And nothing seemed greasy. The owner came out and visited us like we were family and told us about how he grows all his own food. Says he even grows his own beans on a farm (not in Newport).

Fresh, tasty ingredients prepared well in this centrally located eatery in Nye Beach. The cook customized my veggie burrito without dairy, substituting guacamole, and it was delicious. Check out the menu, ask questions, and order at the counter. Every plate custom prepared the way you order it. Good selection of beers, too.

Delicious street tacos with just the right kick. The house made chips are warm, heart and delicious. Creamy cheesy quesadilla was a treat. The salsa verde left something to be desired. Too much heat and not enough depth of flavor. I had the Mango salsa on my tacos and that was delicious and had all the nuance I was looking for.
